A committee of ladies' of the w. c. T. U.

OF town last Saturday and urged them to
vote against license in the election held last
Tuesday. They succeeded in getting quite
a number to promise to GO to the polls and
vote who had not intended to do so, and
also got the promise from some who had
intended to vote for license that they would
vote against it. There Is no shadow OF q
boubt that they did good work for the
cause OF prohibition.

who have awaited themselves or that op-

which horn OF the dilemma they will take,
or whether or not they will take other

they Will tako neither, but will rally anew

An Unparalleled Array Of Novel and Daz-
ZIing Tented Attractions.

The announcement that Sells Brothers will present
their world-eminent tented aggregation in jackson,

votaries of horse OPERA hereabouts The city is
just ripe for frstclass circus combination, and as
the Messrs. Sells establishment fills the bill in heap
cd and rounded measure. there can be question
but that they will meet with brilliant and
whemfng success. This year the Sells Brothers will
bring to our city the hugest and grandes show that
has ever borne their name and which the Phiadel-
phia, Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Cleveland and Detroit

nicent model throughout. The menagerie and train
ed wild beast exhibit of this famous management
have long been known the extensive and val
liable of any similar displays in the country. This
year the geological department has been strengthen
ed to the amount of $4,000. Three hundred of the
worlds greatest mfdar and arenfc stars will appear
in a monster program of ninety thrilling acts-pre-
sented simultaneously in three rings and grand
theatre stage. An entirely feature is the repro
duction of the classic Roman hppodrome. Some sixty
English ond Kentucky thoroughbred3, in addition

The widow of the late Gen. Han
cock is endeavoring to prove that her
husband was not responsible for the
execution of Mrs. Surratt as an ac-
complice to the murder Of Lincoln.
The good lady makes serious mis-
take. 1t is not those who were hung
that brings reproach upon the people
of this country, but those who were
not hung. An attempt has been made
now, we believe, to remove the odium
from the name of every Democrat
connected with the war, and its con-
sequent crimes, save Wilkes Booth.
But very poor headway has been
made. The serious mistake was that
Jeff. Davis, Bob Lee, Wade Hampton,
John B. Gordon, and thousand
others were not made examples of for
their treason. That some Of the con-
spirators have since become good citi-
zens does not lessen the blackness of
their crimes. Gen. Hancock's procla-
nation to the colored people-which
his widow is now trying to prove that
he did not write = was right in
thought, word and tone, and was char
aeteristic of Gen. Hancock's vigor as
soldier. It was one Of the best
things he ever did.

Charles Mayes got drunk, just as
many other men do. He went to the
railroad-just as most drunk men do,
and got on a B. & O. train to go to
Newark, Ohio At some distance
from Newark, while the train was
running at the rate of forty miles an
hour, Mayes fell headlong from the
train. Another train following was
instructed by telegraph to- keep a
watch for him, and he was found ly-
ing alongside the track, with slight
cut on his head, but otherwise unin-
jured. Now, you may say that if
Charles had been sober, he would have
been killed. But he wouldn't haye
fallen from the train. As it was,
he came up with flying colors-for
the half-filled whisky-bottle in his
pocket was unbroken, and thus, with
whisky unspilled. and personal liberty
unabridged, he lived to preach IMAM
hood" and denounce the temperance
Gran ks.

'Laboring men should stand by the
Democratic party. For more than
three quarters of a century it has con-
tended for their rights and battled for
their interests. Portsmouth Times.
That is, the interests Of the Demo-
cratic party have been regarded as the
interests of the laboring-men. We
are opposed to bringing the labor
question into politics. The laboring
men are abundantly able to take care
of themselves, and to vote intelligent
ly. In so far as the laboring men OF
Jackson County are concerned, there
is not more intelligent class of citi-
zens anywhere. And they understand
just how much the Democratic party,
with its persistent advocacy of Free
Trade, has contended for their inter-
ests For three-quarters OF century
it has been the same old prevaricat-
ing fraud that it is now. The Demo-
cratic party cannot deceive the labor
ing men-or- anybody else.

When the story Of the Indian
Agent came out, in regard to the
outbreak" Of the Ute Indians, under
Colorow, it put the case much in the
same light as we had expected it
would. Instead of the alleged out
break being a murderous raid on peace
able citizens, it was an attack upon
the Utes by an organized force of cat
tie thieves Two thousand head of
horses, and hundreds of sheep and
goats belonging to the Utes and graz
ing on the public lands, were driven
off by Colorado thieves. This, added
to the fact that Colorado militia fired
on the Utes in violation Of a peace
parley, naturally aroused the Red
Men to somewhat vigorous action. 1t
is perhaps fact that great majority
Of the outbreaks and murderous raids
of the redskins are directly traceable
to the thieving propensities of the
noble white man. That the Indian is
naturally a brutal savage, goes with
the saying. Yet he has, in his wild
est and most degraded and degrading
condition, shown some traits Of char
acter that were far ahead of some dis
played by the superior" white man
amid all the advantages and advan-
tageous surroundings Of his civilized
state. 1t is fact that few cow boys
and thieves in the West could be
spared as readily as the same number
of Indians. Give the Red Man a
chance-he hasn't long to stay.

The "Sou thern Confedercy, y
through the Democratic leaders. is
just now engaged in charging the
lines of the Union Veterans once
more. 1t is not difficult for close
observer to see through the motive.
At first, the attempt to return to the
dearly-beloved of the South the flags
torn from them in battle This was
promptly nipped by loyal sentiment.
Next-when the leaders of this Dem
ocratic scheme saw where they had
missed it, and how great was the storm
of Indignation against the President
they attempt, by grand charge all
along the line, to capture the Grand
Army and all other organizations of
Union Veterans, drive all Democrats
out of the ranks, and break up all at
tempts to perpetuate all memories of
the defeat of the most horrible con-
spiracy that ever disgraced civilized
Nation. To this end a studied at
tempt is being made to thrust Presi-
dent Cleveland into every Soldiers
Reunion in the country. This attempt
to compel the Veterans to virtually
acknowledge that they were wrong dur
ing the war, and that the jeff Davis
style Of craftsmanship was right, will
never be successful in this country,
and might as well be abandoned now,
as at any other time. The great prin-
ciple that the cause of the Union was
right-foreyer right, and that the Re
bellion was all wrong, will stand as
part Of the history of this country.
The Democratic party, therefore, will
not add to its chances of success by
this second charge along the Union
lines.
No Union Soldier has any bitterness
toward the brave men who opposed
him in the field. No braver men ever
lived than the men who fought with
Lee, and Bragg, and Jackson, and
Johnston. But they were traitors,
engaged in armed rebellion against
